METAL-SPINNING MACHINE.

Applioation filed J'nly 15, 1919.

To all 'u1/fom it 'may concern Be it known that I, lfminnmon G. `Win- LAND, e f'itizen of the United States, resiifling :it Bl'ooklvn, in the county el' Kings, State of New York, have invented certain. new und useful Improvements in Metuhfpinning Mechines, ,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sheet metal working, and Specifically to improvements; in machines for spinning Sheet metal artim cles. In the form hereinafter described the nmchine ie :ulupted for the Spinning; of elo eure caps suitable for use on veeeele or nel tuiuers used fior the pecking' of food :intl similar purposes. although it is obvoile that by i'hanges in design of the metal shaping pdarts the machine may he sidaptcd lo the mamufaeture of articlee o1' dilicrceit forms and for other uses.

'ln the clues of machines to which thin invcntion pertains there are employed et present mecliines containing turrets, both intel'n mittently and continuously operated, Whirh carry a, plurality of mandrele upon which. the sheet metal articles are carried lend ,.iormefl. In such machines; it Cueto j to associate rotary :oiniiixg Levice ver', i, egifl rmindrele so that the articles carried by the lutter. ure presented to the forming devicee in the course of the roi on of the tmfifet. It is customary in miuhineef et present ein ployed, also. to lo i; the turret during ite pause yieiiifide, 'while innndrele :irc associated with the forming devices., eo as to insure the pro )er cooperation of said .levicee.

lily present invention pertains to ma; chilies employing these several features, and my invention resides in novel arrangements of parts whereby distinct advantages are secured in the direction of certainty and ecculaoy of operation and provision for effect ing adjustment of coperating metal forming parte. By virtue of the increased ce1-- tainty and. mcurcy of nperntion resulting from the novel construction embodied in my invention, the machine is capable ot much faster onerationthan 1121i; been 1ir-actiY cal to emploi7 in machines heretofore, and a uniform and better product' Vie eecured. These considere 'one are o great. impor tence, piirticularly in the manufactured oiip closures designed for use on parking vessels sueh as bottles :ind jars, und .ratrticulerly' capslof lthe Screw varietivhich are .Patented Nov. 33, Hlm).
